PHOENIX - The Arizona Supreme Court has agreed to review a lower court's ruling on parents' liability for auto accidents involving their children.

The state Court of Appeals held that parents are on the hook financially even when a minor son or daughter gets in an auto accident while driving a family vehicle in violation of parental instructions.

The case stems from a 17-year-old's accident that caused serious injuries to another driver.
